Common use of Transfer Stations Clause in Contracts

Transfer Stations. The operator would have to build one transfer station in each zone depending on the Project Area and volume of waste generated. Land would be provided by the ULB on lease for the duration of this concession. The transfer stations would be designed for all weather operations and would be environmentally compatible for proximity to inhabited localities. Therefore, these would have the following components: a) Adequate space for all operations within the premises of the transfer station, which would have solid wall fencing of minimum 2 m height. b) Operations within the transfer station would be under cover, so that dust and noise could be effectively controlled. At the same time, the operation would not be hampered during precipitation as well. c) All internal roads, ramp and platforms at different levels would be concrete built and should withstand load of moving machineries/vehicles. d) The transfer station shall be maintained as per the standards set in the O&M Manual. The wash water should go through a sediment basin and then to the city sewer. e) The selected operator would have to make appropriate site-specific designs as per the type of vehicles and containers to be handled and the method applied for transfer of the waste. f) Prospective designs may be discussed with the ULB during the pre- bid meeting but detailed discussion followed by written approval would have to be taken from the Independent Engineer for their adequacy, before construction.
